Hello all,
I have been racking my brain to try and find a solution for this problem I'm having with the NFS server on PVE 2.1.
The problem is this:
I have several directories with a large number of large files in them; I can share those directories via NFS v3 & mount them on other Linux machines without any major problems.
The problem comes when I mount them from a Mac OS X client.
I can mount it from within Finder (I have specified the insecure option) and do pretty much anything I need to do with the files from within the Terminal.app, but when I use Find to look into these directories with a large number (>300) of large files (>500GB total), Finder just hangs & spins its "processing" circle & never resolves it.
If I create a similarly large number of empty files, then it displays them after only a brief pause, and if I have a small number of larger files, it displays them as well.
I am trying to migrate from an older RHEL 5 server where this works without a problem.
Originally I was trying to migrate to an OpenVZ container & ran into this problem, but found the exact situation occurs when I share NFS directly on the bare metal server.
Any suggestions on things to try?
I've tried turning off icon-preview, but that doesn't help, and like I mentioned, the RHEL server has been doing this for years without a problem.
I have also noticed that after Finder has been hanging for a long while, the NFS share will stop responding within the Terminal.app as well.
Thank you!
